Yeah, what he said ! I have several friends with Hondas and Toyotas and
believe me, they have their share of problems. What really bugs me though
is they blow this stuff off as normal wear and tear. They seem so caught
up in the myth that Japanese cars are superior they can't bring themselves
to believe they could suffer the same poor quality parts, engineering or
sloppy assembly that affects nearly every car brand to some degree.
Anyone been reading about the sludge problem in Toyotas?
I feel better now.:)
